Each of three friends—Lin, Jada, and Andre—had the goal of raising $40. How much money did each person raise? Be prepared to explain your reasoning.

1. Lin raised 100% of her goal.

2. Jada raised 50% of her goal.

3. Andre raised 150% of his goal.

1. $40. Lin raised $40 since $40 is 100% of the goal.
2. $20. Half of 100 is 50, and half of $40 is $20, so Jada raised $20, which is 50% of $40.
3. $60. Since the first tick mark is $20, the third tick mark must be $60. This means Andre raised $60, which is 150% of the $40 goal.
